That's a sweet idea!!! Strengthens a little and protects

no they are not,, I just bought a small sheet approx. 18x24 of 6061 for about 20 bucks,, and made a couple templates and cut them out,,, clamped them to chassis, drilled holes,, countersinked screws,, filed edges smooth to a 45 degree angle,,,,front getting closer to being done,,, got to get the bend in front just right with some heat,,, before I drill holes for the mounting of diff,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,plate about 1/8 inch thick,,, should take some abuse,,, and stiffen front,,, still have to bend rear plate yet,, for a rear bumper,, made little longer than chassis,,, or maybe install a Baja rear bumper and bolt to plate,, not sure yet
